**Solid budget pick** in upscale Garden City. **Spotless rooms**, **friendly staff** (Badr/Karim praised), and **prime location**—12-min walk to Tahrir Square, near Nile views. Free daily laundry (2 items), strong Wi-Fi. **Cons**: No pool/gym; occasional street noise. **exceptional value** for explorers

Everyone was so nice and thoughtful. I travel has a solo female and it really was so confortable to stay there. The staff and manager would help you and give you the best recommendations. In the last day my flight was early so I wouldn’t be able to do the breakfast, so they prepare it for me at 6am to take with me. Thank you, i really recommend this place.

- Beyond expectations. Great quiet location close the new grand museum/pyramids. - Exceptional staff. Having interacted with over 20 staff members, starting with front desk during check-in / check-out and during the 3 days stay, Restaurant’s staff and pool staff were all very friendly and most of all as they call it “people’s oriented” they always smiling and welling to help/ offering comfort and checking on our experience. Very genuine staff. - Restaurant staff making sure to follow up the meal experience and offered extra sauce for the delicious steak. - The 2 gentlemen at the pool were always checking on both kids which made us as parents feeling safe. - Knowing all the names of the hotel staff by heart and it was a pleasure interacting with all of them. They do care about feedback and knowing what to improve which shows already one vital key of success in their field. - Initially I’ve booked 3 days stay then 6 days in Alexandria. However I’ve cut my stay short and decided to book another 3 days after Alexandria trip as we’ve all enjoyed JAZ pyramids hotel.

    Very good location and safe lifts. The entrance to the hotel is clean and welcoming. I came early and they gave us an early checking-in because of it. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean and the beds were comfortable and big. The area was good and the rooms were sound-proof. Ac units worked well and wifi was also stable. The breakfast was very nice, and when we requested an omelette, extra bread and tea they provided us with them. Very safe location with lots of cheap food stores, coffee shops and restaurants.

    The location was ideal to get to the museum and other tourist attractions. The room was very clean and comfortable but the best thing about the stay though was the staff. We arrived early and Andrew on the desk was very welcoming and allowed us to leave our bags whilst we visited the pyramids.
